Latest, brief novel by the Nobel Prize winner, the third book of hers I’ve read. Employs a narrative technique where the protagonist writes a critique in the first person of the narrator’s third person account, though not sure what that adds for anyone other than the author herself. Got almost propagandistic toward the end, and I found Frank’s recovery unjustified. I though A Mercy was excellent, and Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination was deeply mistaken. Unfortunately, this book is closer to the second, but glad I read it.
